Funny I was behind a Geo Metro going up a hill over the weekend and was thinking to myself (had plenty of time) that with all the hybrids and high mpg 4cyl out there we prob would not ever see a 3cyl again. Guess I was wrong.

I remember back in the days watching the Saabs road race. 3 cylinder 2 stroke with the stinger exhaust pipe, just like youd see on a dirt bike.

Not an ugly overpriced hybrid. Not a crappy cramped smart car. But a little three cylinder fiesta four door that beats both in mpg? Ha. Take that hybrid.

LOL, when I hit the back button on this, it told me USA Today wanted to make me a special offer.

I guess you've never been in a Smart car. They really arent cramped, Unless youre trying to carry something other then you and a passenger.

This kicks ass.

Too bad we'll probably never see a 4-door Fiesta, manual trans, AWD and that 3 banger under the hood. That'd actually make me tempted to buy a new car.

i say bring the ka to america!!!! this would kick ass in a light weight ka and get like 55mpg

but i would drive a cmax with a 3cyl and a 6 speed, i dont know why (maybe because im a 90s child) but minivans rock my world lol

 

[rockin86ranger]

so fords not bringing the 7 passenger c max to america, this is such a dumb move in my opinion.

haha. i just saw a lil ka today. i dont know where it came from, but i live by the border so, maybe mexico?

 

[tgallmey]

Sadly im pro Diesel I think we need more diesel cars they have refined alot since the 80s lol

 

[martin]

the ka is crap, If you are around six feet tall it's next to impossible to drive the damned thing. It handles like crap, the brakes are crap and the fuel consumption is crap. I got stuck with one as a rental a few years ago and it was the worst piece of crap I've ever been in and i've driven what I thought was crap before but nothing comes close to the ka, it's in a whole crap box class of its own.

they should bring back the 4 cyl diesel and redesign them with twin turbos or a garbage can size supercharger

if they dont do it I will
